I am so happy for you that the dress got done!! I hope the wedding was all that everyone hoped. I know you worked so hard and I hope you got to enjoy it. I have totally done the the exact same thing with a zipper, by the way.

I too would like to see pictures of the paintings. and from the wedding!

I wrote a long, long comment about what you're working on and how I know the dress turned out gorgeous and how pretty the wedding pictures were and then my browser locked up and I lost the whole shebang. DANG.
